In pregnant women with a history of cesarean section, wall thickness of the lower uterine segment may help determine the risk and safety of vaginal delivery. Determination of wall thickness may help identify the potential risk of uterine rupture in pregnant women who do not wish to have another cesa

## Abstract Waveform analysis of arterial Doppler sonography signals is widely used in clinical practice. A characteristic, Wβshaped diastolic waveform has been reported in the renal artery of renal transplant recipients in cases of renal vein thrombosis or severe acute rejection. Although Doppler
Some patients with anginal chest pain and normal coronary arteries exhibit a paradoxical increase in coronary flow velocity after termination of acetylcholine infusion. The aim of this study was to investigate whether this paradoxical increase in the flow velocity is associated with the impaired mic
